I, Crystle leave to Mrs. Barnes my thanks for helping me become a better singer, for making me get over my stage fright and most of all for always believing in me. To Cheyenne and Lee I leave my ability to do well in school, and of course my sisterly love. To Sarah, Fini, and Tiffany: I leave the ability for people to think you are the most sweet and innocent person, but really the most mischeivious. To Onva, I leave the ability to be cute and short, and the one with the biggest opinion. To Kayla Dale, I leave my ability to always talk myself out of trouble. To Randy: I leave my ability to always annoy Jerred Morgan.

Crystle was born feb 9th 1987 she was always busy on the go nothing could stop her and she continued to be that way through her short lived life. She had never met a stranger her smile and personality was such a pleasure to be around, A strong minded and strong willed person she is, but always kind to everyone and would  make anyone laugh no matter what mood they were in.
Growing up we had our usual mother daughter arguments we're supposed to do that now and then, 
She graduated May 12,2005 she was asked to sing for graduation which she did so beautifully singing 26 cents I sat in the stands with tears streaming down my face so proud of her accomplishments thinking wow what a beautiful young lady she had grown to be inside and out, I remember her looking at me smiling while I was fighting the tears as if to say its ok Mom, My husband Kirk sat next to me in the stands mouthing the words as Crystle sang, they used to sing together all the time, We were all so proud of Crystle that day when she got done singing the whole place stood up applauding her, and her older brother Jimmy yelled with pride "Thats my sister" those moments you never forget.
                    
There wasn't a day that went by with out her letting her family and friends know how much she cared about them, not one day went by when we didnt talk to eachother on the phone atleast 5 times a day, she worked nights and I worked days so we always touched base even just to say hi I love you! 
Everyday she never missed the  opportunity to sit on Kirks lap and tell him about her days, or ask his opinion. I remember one time I was joking with her while she was sitting on his lap and said "Crystle aren't you a lil big to be sitting on Kirks" lap and without missing a beat she said "nope you do" LOL. 
She used to call her older sister Marion to see how she was or what latest fasions were out, Marion would always pick her up something, She spent many weekends with her older sister after Marion had moved out and started college, she always looked after her lil sister to make sure she was ok. 
Jimmy and Crystle always watching each others back as they would say, they always had fun doing pranks to eachother after a while it was all about who could pull the best prank, and 99% of the time Crystle won.
All her siblings and her always had so much fun. She adored her younger brother Lee and her youngest sister Cheyenne, when they were home together you knew the stereo would be turned up and each of them would be dancing and singing around the house.
 Sure they had their disagreements but if you messed with one you better plan on taking all of them on .
My days off weds and thurs she would come home in the morning and crawl into bed with me and just talk about the nights events, watch a movie or tell me about her po po friends (police officers) she really liked going to the huddle house with them during her lunch break (little did they know a few months later they would carry her coffin). Her and I would hang out and spend time with eachother, I miss her so much her laughter, smiles, gripes, one thing she knew from the begining to the end mom was always there no matter what.
On August 23rd Crystle was comming home from work when a guy driving 75mph in a 45mph speed zone hit her nearly head on.
Why?  I asked that question a million times, knowing I would never get an answer.  There is no answer, at least not one that would satisfy me.  I believe when this young man hit my daughter, at that moment God hung his head and cried.  He lost a child at that moment.  God did not kill my daughter, a 27 year old man with no regard for anyone killed her, evil killed her,  no matter how you look at it, the end result is  the same.  I know my daughter is safe in the arms of Jesus.
I cannot change what the man has done, he has taken her from earth, her family, friends her plans for her future here have been altered,  but he can never touch the memories and love that so many people have for her I can only hope that Justice will prevail, But I also know God has the final say and will see Justice done!

"Romans 12:19-21: Beloved, do not avenge yourselves but rather give place to wrath; for it is written,"Vengeance is mine, I will repay,"says the Lord. Therefore "If your enemy hungers, feed him;If he thirsts, give him a drink;For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head." Do not be overcome with evil but overcome evil with good.

Crystle is no longer here in body but that never takes away a parents bond because with every beat of my heart Crystle still lives. thank you for waiting until I could get to you Crystle, I love you more then words could ever say.
